"By now, I’m sure we’ve all witnessed a long-running franchise that we absolutely love get ruined, changed and ‘mainstreamed’ so hard that it sent us into a rage-induced forum bombing, if you will. For the longest while, I didn’t think Hitman: Absolution would fit into such a category. All year long, the game looked as if it were shaping up to be another solid entry in the series, albeit with refined gameplay and a more prominent narrative.
After finally sitting down to play the game, however, I have to say that I’m incredibly disappointed by it. Daniel wrote a positive review of the game last month, wherein he awarded the game an 8/10. I respect his opinion, as well as those of the people who ended up enjoying the game. However, that’s not what I’m here for, is it? I’m here to disagree with them, and disagree with them I shall. Hitman: Absolution is a disappointment so crushing that it rivals the act of being bludgeoned by Agent 47 himself." (Michael Urban, OnlySP.com)
Feral Interactive will release IO Interactive-developed stealth action game Hitman: Absolution for Switch on November 13 for $29.99 / £19.99 / €24.99, the developer announced.
When Hitman 3 recently changed its name to Hitman World of Assassination, fans had no idea how meaningful the moment was. On the outside it looked like a simple thing: Hitman 3 would now be known by this name and include levels from Hitman 2 and 3 - the trilogy would all be in one place. But on the inside, at IO Interactive, much more was going on.
You mean destroyed it with this tethered single-player campaign BS... And only the first few levels of the third modern game were on the disc! I'll never support this crap at any price-point! They've lost me as a customer.
The last 10 years of Hitman have been full of highs and lows. And David Bateson and Jane Perry have been there with the series through this eventful decade.
Hitman is, and has been, a remarkable series developed by some of the best. Some are better than others, but every Hitman is challenging and fun.
Sure, there have been some stumbles and fumbles, but always in pursuit of the perfect Hitman game. The most recent trilogy is a masterclass in level design.
I was about to buy it tomorrow. Maybe not now??
Not disapointed by the game yet I can agree with a lot of points in this article. Blood money is arguably the best Hitman game, but Absolution was still great to play.
i'm playig it on pc right now
amazing game and the gfx on pc is just Incredible
THe problem with this game is its way way to scripted.
The targets you have to take out follow a very scripted path.
All you have to do is wait in a location you KNOW they will come back too, since its scripted and just wait. THen simply kill them.
Very very poor and predictable.
